Consumer Description

DEAR SIRS, I OWN A 1999 FORD EXPEDITION, THE ENGINE SEEMED TO BE HAVE OPERATED FINE UNTIL THE # 3 SPARK PLUG BLEW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE CYLINDER HEAD. IF THE PLUG AND THE DESTROYED COIL WOULD HAVE RUPTURED THE FUEL RAIL THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE GONE UP IN FLAMES. I HOPE THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ON THE PART OF FORD TO REPAIR THIS UNBELIEVINGLY, AMAZING , AND VERY COMMON SAFETY PROBLEM FORD WAS BRUSHING UNDER THE RUG. THE VEHICLE WAS PAST THE WARANTY PERIOD SO THAT WON'T BE OF ANY HELP, BUT THIS PROBLEM WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS
